But even Chief Martin believes the incident will eventually be presented to the grand jury.

Meanwhile, West Virginia State Police say their probe is nearly complete.

"The trooper who is assigned to it has completed the investigation. He's just waiting on a few lab reports to attach to the file," says Lt. Michael Baylous. "Once that happens, he'll send it over to the prosecutor's office."

State police have said 24-year-old Steven Lewis Pfalzgraf of Parkersburg was shot on Jan. 14 after he drove a car toward the officer.

That followed a purse snatching incident in the mall's food court.

The alleged purse snatcher, John Ragalyi, remains held on bond at the North Central Regional Jail.

UPDATE 3/13/2014 12:50 PM

An internal review says a Parkersburg Police detective acted within the department's guidelines when he fatally shot a suspect outside the Grand Central Mall.

He says officer J.M. Stalnaker was dragged across the pavement by the car.

Chief Martin says Edelen has been with the department 5 years, while Stalnaker has been with the department 12 years.

He says there have been no prior disciplinary issues with either officer.

Chief Martin says both officers are currently on administrative duty and they are receiving counseling.

"The department is taking steps, following our procedures and looking out for the welfare of our members, getting them established with some debrief counseling," says Chief Martin. "Anytime you're involved in this kind of situation, it's very stressful. It does take a toll emotionally on these guys."

Chief Martin adds he has no indication that his officers actions at any moment were inappropriate or crossed any lines.

He says they'll both return to full-duty, on their own time frame.

The chief adds that his department will conduct their own internal investigation regarding the actions of the two officers.

He says that will begin next week, pending the outcome of the criminal case.

UPDATE 1/16/2014 10:20 AM

West Virginia State Police Sgt. Michael Baylous says Steven Lewis Pfalzgraf, 24, of Parkersburg is the man who was shot and killed Tuesday by a Parkersburg Police officer.

Sgt. Baylous says the two robbery suspects who turned themselves in to Parkersburg Police Tuesday are John Ragalyi and his wife, Jenna Ragalyi, of New Matamoras.

Parkersburg Police Chief Joe Martin says the Ragalyis have since been released.

Sgt. Baylous says John Ragalyi stole a purse from a woman in the Grand Central Mall food court Tuesday afternoon.

He says charges are forthcoming against the Ragalyis.

Two Parkersburg Police officers chased after John Ragalyi after he stole the woman's purse, according to authorities.

Authorities say Ragalyi got into a car being driven by Steven Lewis Pfalzgraf.

In the process of chasing after the car, Sgt. Baylous says one Parkersburg Police officer was dragged across the pavement.

He says Pfalzgraf then drove the car towards the other Parkersburg Police officer, at which point that officer shot Pfalzgraf.

The shooting occurred in the parking lot outside J.C. Penney and the food court.

Pfalzgraf was able to continue driving, hitting a rock near Outback Steakhouse before stopping in the Toys R Us parking lot.

Sgt. Baylous says that's when the Ragalyis took off.

The officer who was dragged across the pavement was treated at a hospital and was released with minor injuries.

The names of the officers aren't being released at this time.

John Ragalyi's record with the Washington County Sheriff's Office spans 5 years, between 2007 and 2012.

"We've booked him into our facility nine times and he's been charged with breaking and entering, burglary, drug offenses, probation violation," says Sheriff Larry Mincks. "He's just a normal addict who steals to take care of his habit. That's what we found that he did in the past."
